Curtains

Time for a new challenge and a new set of the Alphabet over on the Butterfly Blog.We are now on the letter C.
#146 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with C for Curtain Fold  Card.

Here are my inspiration cards for you.  As usual you will find the tutorials for making these cards over on the Butterfly Blog under the tab Card Shapes. We are getting a nice collection of card shapes on there now and you are free to browse and make cards from the instructions  given.

This card uses Version I 

I am using from the wheel:
Curtain Fold Card
Colour: Carnation Pink
Colour: Carrot Orange
Butterfly

 Made as a tent fold. The embossing folder I have used  is by Core'dinations and the design paper for the curtain was a freebie from Making Cards magazine april 2016 which had just the right shade of orange in it. butterfly is my go to Memory box Isabella/Pippi. the sentiment stamps are by' Kasercraft' Birthday Wishes clear stamps set. Below is showing the inside of the card.


This card uses Version II 

I am using from the wheel:
Curtain Fold Card
Theme: Colouring pens.
Colour: Carnation Pink
Colour: Carrot Orange
Colour: Citron
Butterfly
 The butterfly and sentiment are Freebies from Paper Crafter Magazine .The paper was in my stash but I have no name  to go with it.  Butterfly is coloured in using a combination of promarker and Graph'it pens.  Ribbon is a real oldie from my stash. I haven't used ribbon for ages on my cards.! Below is the inside of the card with another coloured in butterfly.


This card uses Version III 

I am using from the wheel:
Curtain Fold Card
Colour: Carnation Pink
Butterfly
A side opening card using another freebie design paper from Making cards magazine from The  Nancy Watt collection. Twine and gems were from my stash. 

 The Dental surgery  went ok but I have a problem that has now cropped up so need to go back and get it sorted before the next stage of the tooth restoration can begin in November. 

Hope to see you over at the Butterfly Challenge which will again be running for 3 weeks. 




Stay safe and well.
We are still not out of the woods yet!

    Some really beautiful cards with very pretty papers and great colours. I once made a card using this design but it wasn't called 'Curtain', can't remember what it was called though but they look great.
